Ultimate Cardiac IQ Healthy Heart Cholesterol Profile - (QUEST DIAGNOSTICS)
Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.
C-Reactive Protein (CRP), High Sensitivity (Cardiac Risk Assessment)
Lipid Panel, Advanced, Cardio IQ: Cardio IQ Cholesterol, Total; Cardio IQ HDL Cholesterol; Cardio IQ Triglycerides; Cardio IQ Non-HDL and Calculated Components; Cardio IQ Lipoprotein Fractionation, Ion Mobility Cardio IQ Apolipoprotein B; ;Cardio IQ Lipoprotein (a); If Triglyceride is >400 mg/dL, then Cardio IQ Direct LDL will be performed.
Fasting is not required prior to collection of a lipid panel. The assay manufacturer Beckman Coulter advises: "N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC), when administered in therapeutic concentrations (for the treatment of acetaminophen overdose), has been determined to interfere with assays for cholesterol, uric acid" where "NAC interference may lead to falsely low results." According to Beckman Coulter, the NAC interference should be insignificant by 12 hours after completion of the initial loading dose of an IV infusion treatment regimen consisting of an initial loading dose of 150 mg/kg administered over 1 hour, a second dose of 50 mg/kg administered over 4 hrs and a third dose of 100 mg/kg administered over 16 hrs.
Estimated turnaround for results is 5 business days. If confirmation testing is required, the estimated time may be extended.
The Ultimate NMR® Healthy Heart Cholesterol Profile provides a more comprehensive coronary heart disease (CHD) risk assessment than the Lipid Profile. The Ultimate NMR® Healthy Heart Cholesterol Profile is our regular NMR LipoProfile® with Insulin Resistance Markers with the addition of C-Reactive Protein (CRP), High Sensitivity (Cardiac Risk Assessment) test and a Lipoprotein (a).
Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.
C-Reactive Protein (CRP), High Sensitivity (Cardiac Risk Assessment)
NMR LipoProfile® with Insulin Resistance Markers: Insulin resistance markers; lipoprotein particle number (LDL and HDL); lipoprotein subfractions; standard lipid panel (total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides).
Graph is not provided.
Lipoprotein (a) Lp(a) *Please note, the NMR LipoProfile® is processed through LipoScience, the C-Reactive Protein (CRP), High Sensitivity (Cardiac Risk Assessment) and Lp(a) is processed through Labcorp, results are provided on a Labcorp Report. Graph is not provided.
Patient should fast for 12-14 hours before collection of the specimen.
Intake of alcohol, aspirin, niacin, and estrogen supplements have the potential of causing a misrepresentation of true Lp(a) concentrations.
Estimated turnaround for results is 5 business days. If confirmation testing is required, the estimated time may be extended.
